Family Mahadik

We are adoptive parents of a lovely beautiful girl, Swara who has brought a new meaning to our lives. She has given us a purpose beyond all purposes – of raising her, shaping her views, moulding her to become an extraordinary woman we can be proud of. In doing that, we find ourselves growing too; each day, each hour, each minute that we spend with her.

Being a child with her, laughing with her, crying with her, feeling surprised, elated, excited at pretty much everything. From the mundane to the exotic, we find ourselves looking at everything with innocent eyes, with a renewed hope about life even with all its trappings. This was not the case before. Before she came into our lives, it was incomplete and riddled with many questions, many uncertainties. Most of those concerning a child’s absence in our lives.

Today we are glad we got through those tough times and emerged to live a life that’s incredible in every sense of the word. Having said all this, we have but one fear. Of the time when we will have to tell our daughter that we are not her biological parents. How will she react? This question nags us each day. We know there are no easy answers. The silver lining for us is our faith in our daughter’s intrinsic goodness that will see her sail through the rough and tumble of life, smoothly.

Yet, we have begun to prepare ourselves for any eventuality and at the same time have set ourselves to groom her to be an independent thinking individual who does not lose sight of the values we inculcate in her.

Bal Anand- Worldchildren Welfare Trust India

Sulochana Kalro pens down the detailed journey of how it all started:
Bal Anand WWTI as an NGO began in 2 rooms that the Trust rented in Sindhi Society, Chembur and with a license to keep 8 children. But no sooner than we started, space proved insufficient; more children than could be accommodated were being referred and the work itself was growing. So we started looking for larger premises preferably owned but it was not easy. It was taking time. So till it could happen we rented a bigger place in Govandi and search continued for own premises. We found an independent yet totally dilapidated structure Ground + one floor in Ghatla Village, Chembur. The only one that was affordable. We bought this property in May 1985, and called it 'Sai Krupa' which means by the Grace of God...
